Really disappointed to see the Xbox performance issues get pushed to the next update.
I’ve been looking forward to flying this since the game came out and have yet to do so because I can’t get more than 10fps
As mentioned in the changelog, this is a MSFS core issue with the Avionics module, affects all aircraft to some degree but particularly noticeable on the C17 due to the number of displays (37 in total) - Asobo has identified the problem and they are preparing an update
Nothing we can do at this time, unfortunately.

Not that, but the Discord link expired - here is a new one: Miltech Simulations

Oh ha! No I did not remove the headrest from the panel…I thought it was for show, that’s a cool feature. This was starting from cold and dark.
Every time I try to fly it the Sim stutters constantly, so for now it is unflyeble on Xbox
This has been addressed a number of times above:

Would be great if more plane devs were like you.
Thx for your work

anyone having an issue getting the magenta line to display on the ND after executing flightplan in FMS? I watched a video and it appeared to be working for him. Sorry if theres anything Ive overlooked.
@LikedHare478430 Hope all is well, I’m sure busy with release.
Question- are you still planning to do another aircraft release & share a roadmap by end of year? As mentioned a few weeks back.
Thanks
If magenta line does not show, you likely have a discontinuity on your flightplan. Make sure the Nav select is on MSN too.
There is an aircraft announcement coming up in a few days.

I have searched all but fail to find LVAR’s representing the “right-hand” click actions for altitude selector (to send value to ALT_VAR_LOCK) and same for HDG and SPEED SEL KNOBS so that I can bind to my hardware, if you will kindly share? Thank you.
Looking forward to that, and also been enjoying the c17.
I’m not too familiarized with hardware bindings, but you may use the H/K Events directly.
K:HEADING_BUG_SET
H:SPD_VERIFY
H:ALT_VERIFY
These interactions have LVARs, but the variables only track the animations - don’t track the function. You will need to trigger the events directly for the action to occur.
Would love to fly this thing, unfortunately XBox X is giving me 1 fps when flying it.

Average external model, good looking cockpit. Flight model seems quite good.
The autopilot feels extremely bugged at times though.
Simple things like following headings doesn’t always work as expected.
You must right click on the knobs to acknowledge the selection. The AP has a few tricks that you must be familiarized with in order to operate correctly.

I’m aware that the AP has a select and lock in. I have been flying IFR patterns with some success, but sometimes the lock in of a new heading doesn’t work properly.
On one of my circuits i turned in to capture the localizer, which it did, then established on the glide slope. All of a sudden it turned out and circled around to the intercept heading, still following the GS altitudes. Really weird.
As long as HDG mode is engaged and you are locking in with right click, it shouldn’t have any issues - it has worked consistently for us during testing.
So HDG overriding LOC?
Depending on the LOC intercept angle, the aircraft may do a 360 turn in order to align itself correctly with the runway (due to the turn radius of this aircraft you shouldn’t intercept at any angle larger than 30deg, the aircraft will struggle with anything above that and may decide to perform a 360deg turn). Not sure if this is the particular case you are referring to.
Beware that the ILS system is designed to follow approaches as entered on the MSN (FMS system). So as long as the approach is correctly entered on MSN, and you follow a standard approach procedure engaging APPR on final, the aircraft will perform correctly. Approaches not entered on MSN and simply tuned in the radios may not work as expected
I’m not entirely sure if heading mode took over, because the plane turned the opposite way of the heading i intercepted on.
This was a simple ILS with an intercept angle of 30 degrees, entered into the FMS indeed.
I got established first, but the plane turned off the glide slope after a couple of seconds.
